"Apple Officially Renews Severance for Season 3"

Apple has officially announced the renewal of the critically acclaimed series "Severance" for a third season. This sci-fi psychological thriller, created by Ben Stiller and Dan Erickson, has solidified its position as the most popular show on Apple TV+. The recently concluded Season 2 has set a new record as the most-watched series on the platform. For a detailed analysis, don't miss IGN's review of Severance Season 2.

Ben Stiller, reflecting on his experience, shared, “Making Severance has been one of the most creatively exciting experiences I’ve ever been a part of. While I have no memory of this, I’m told making Season 3 will be equally enjoyable, though any recollection of these future events will be forever and irrevocably wiped from my memory as well.”

Adam Scott, who stars in and executive produces the show, expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “I couldn’t be more excited to get back to work with Ben, Dan, the incredible cast and crew, Apple, and the whole Severance team. Oh hey also - not a huge deal - but if you see my innie, please don’t mention any of this to him. Thanks.”

Here's the official synopsis from Apple:

In Severance, Mark Scout (Scott) leads a team at Lumon Industries, whose employees have undergone a severance procedure that surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives. This daring experiment in 'work-life balance' is called into question as Mark finds himself at the center of an unraveling mystery that will force him to confront the true nature of his work… and of himself.

In Season 2, Mark and his friends learn the dire consequences of trifling with the severance barrier, leading them further down a path of woe. Season 2 welcomes new series regulars Sarah Bock and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson.

While an official release date for Season 3 hasn't been announced, Ben Stiller provided some reassurance on the New Heights podcast hosted by Jason and Travis Kelce. He stated, "No, the plan is not to [wait three years]. Definitely not. Hopefully, we’ll be announcing what the plan is very soon. That will not be that!" Stiller also acknowledged the challenges faced during the production of Season 2, mentioning, "There was a writers’ and actors’ strike, and it took us a while to regroup after that. I think we shot for 186 days on Season 2. There was a lot of shooting and editing, and editing takes a while. But thank goodness that the audience was there when we came back on."
